Chi (Italian for "Who") is an Italian weekly gossip magazine, based in Segrate, Milan, Italy. It is published by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, the biggest Italian publishing company.

Photo of Princess Diana

The magazine came under criticism for publishing a picture of Princess Diana, taken as she was dying.[1] The photo, which is black-and-white, depicts Diana receiving oxygen in the wreckage of the vehicle in which she died on August 31, 1997. The picture, which was also run with black bars across the Princess's face in the British newspaper The Sun, was taken from the book Lady Diana : L'enquete criminelle by Jean-Michel Caradec'h.[2][3] Despite the criticism, the editor of the magazine has defended their decision to publish it.[1]

Photos of Kate Middleton

On September 17, 2012, the magazine published unauthorized photographs of Kate Middleton, the wife of Britain's Prince William. The couple is suing the magazine.[4]

On February 12, 2013, it was widely reported that the magazine had obtained more unauthorized photographs of Kate Middleton, this time of her on a private holiday in the Caribbean whilst pregnant, and plans to publish them. St James's Palace condemned the magazine for infringing on the Duchess' privacy.[5] Indeed, the magazine did publish the photographs the following day.
